Chris Simms: People have caught on to the Panthers offense.

I realize in the online world we try to oversimplify everything to a single issue or cause for the sake of arguing all day long. Reality allows for there to be serious issues with more than one aspect that compound to give you outcomes like we saw on Sunday. We clearly see Darnold struggle. We have had this supported by various people with at least some ability to analyze QB play. We have observed reoccurring  issues with red zone and 3rd quarter offense. We have seen Rhule mention the play calling. We have had this supported by several sources with at least some ability to analyze an offense.

 

Both aspects and a poo OL, streaky receivers, and missing our fragile best player combine to give us problems..

The level of hate some of you have for Brady is comical. 
 

OL is worst in the league. QB bottom tier. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of concept things Brady calls at times I’m not a fan of but but overall it’s tough to succeed as an OC if your running game can’t pick up a few keys yards on 3rd downs. Your QB is struggling with progressions. 
 

Again, year 2 of a FULL tear down rebuild. One of the two coordinators was bound to get the short end of the stick.

Thank you for a level headed comment and not another ‘twitter’ take.

These are the dumbest takes. Nobody is making up a new NFL offense. People always knew what the Pats were going to do. It’s about executing it and not being sloppy.

I think you are having a different discussion. It's not about making up a new offense. It's about knowing the types of routes that will be run regularly and positioning the defense favorably.

Is there even any guarantee that hes going to come back this year at this point?  And even if he does, itll probably be for 2 games or so until he gets a hang nail or something that lands him on IR for the rest of the season.  Hes a transcendent talent, but damn he never plays anymore!!  

Agree and I think the coaches tell him not to come back when we stink.  Not sure why I think this, but if we have a playoff team I suspect CMC will be out there.

Yeah but whats a "competent vet" in your eyes?  Teddy B would probably fit that category, and we didn't exactly light the scoreboard up last year either.  Although it WAS dramatically better than the shitshow they're trotting out there for the last month.  I think there is plenty of blame to go around on all sides. 

True, but it's not just the QB. The OL is awful, too. It's tough to gauge any OC with this kind of awful talent to work with at both the OL AND QB.

Same exact thing that happened last year, IMO...but at what point do you make him come out there and earn his highest RB salary in NFL history?  All I know is that the week he got hurt, he was barely even limping and they called it a "less than Grade 1 strain", now its 6 weeks later and who knows when hes going to return.  Either his injury was much worse than they said originally, or someone is lying to us all.

No idea and I'm glad I don't have to make this decision.  Elite RBs seem to get about 5 years then they decline and clearly the Panthers are trying to maximize CMC's 5 years.

    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
    • It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now. 
    • The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
